Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding (1)

Shout out to all my fellow peanut butter cup lovers. This chocolatey peanut butter chia seed pudding is how we get candy inspired breakfast, but in a *healthy* way and made with simple ingredients.

Aside from the fact that it’s loaded with chocolate and peanut butter I love the fact that it takes all of 5 minutes to throw everything together in a jar, mix it up, and store it in the fridge until morning so that this chia seeds have time to gel up and do their thing.

Chia Pudding F.A.Q.’s

How many servings does this recipe make?

  • This recipe makes enough for two serving. I know it might not look like much, but chia seeds are high in fibre and surprisingly filling. Two tablespoons which is the amount you get in one serving contains about 11g).

How long do chia puddings keep?

  • In general you can expect chia puddings to keep for about 5 days.
  • If you want to make these in bulk, you can also freeze your chia puddings for up to 2 months. Just make sure to remove them from the freezer and defrost in the fridge or at room temperature at least 4 hours before eating.

Can I use another nut butter or skip it altogether?

  • Yes! Use any other type of nut or seed butter in place of peanut butter. Try it withcashew butter,almond butterorhazelnut butter! Sunflower seed butter and pumpkin butter are also a great option if you want it nut free.
  • Use your choice of chunky or cream nut butter.
  • Feel free to omit the peanut butter/nut butter altogether for a plain chocolate chia pudding/ nut-free option.

Can I use PB2 (powdered peanut butter) if I want to reduce the calorie amount?

  • Absolutely! You can play around with the amounts to suite your preference, but I recommend adding 2 tablespoons of PB2/powder peanut butter. You don’t need to worry about mixing the PB2 with water first to make this.

Can I use a low carb sweetener?

  • Yes! The amount of sweetener you use will depend on the type of sweetener you choose. You should check the packaging on your preferred sweetener for recommendations on how to sub it in recipes. I always recommend starting with a small amount and adding to taste so that you don’t end up accidentally over doing it.

    Thank you so much. This is delicious and I have shared it multiple times in my fitness groups. I changed it up a little and add 160-180g of Greek yogurt, 90g protein powder and more chia, 60g instead of 40 but get 3 serves this way. So so good x
